REVIVING MOBILITY: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
INTRODUCTION Knee Replacement Surgery is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged knee joint with an artificial joint. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals who experience severe knee pain, sti?ness, and limited mobility due to arthritis or injury. In this presentation, we will discuss the process of knee replacement surgery and what patients can expect before, during, and after the procedure.
TYPES OF KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY There are two main types of knee replacement surgery: Total Knee Replacement and Partial Knee Replacement. Total knee replacement involves replacing the entire knee joint, while partial knee replacement only replaces the damaged part of the knee joint. Your surgeon will determine which type of surgery is best for you based on the extent of your knee damage.
PREPARING FOR SURGERY Before knee replacement surgery, patients will need to undergo a series of tests to ensure they are healthy enough for the procedure. Patients may also need to make lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or quitting smoking, to reduce the risk of complications. It is important to follow all pre-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure a successful surgery.
THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE During knee replacement surgery, the damaged knee joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint made of metal and plastic. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours to complete and is performed under general anesthesia. After the surgery, patients will be monitored in the recovery room before being transferred to a hospital room.
REHABILITATION AT HOME After leaving the hospital, patients will continue their recovery at home. This will involve physical therapy exercises to strengthen the knee and improve mobility. Patients may also need to use a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine to improve knee flexibility. It is important to follow all rehabilitation instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure a successful recovery.
RECOVERY IN THE HOSPITAL Patients will typically stay in the hospital for 1-3 days after knee replacement surgery. During this time, they will receive pain medication, physical therapy, and instructions on how to care for their new joint. Patients will also learn how to use a walker or crutches to assist with mobility.
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS As with any surgery, there are risks and complications associated with knee replacement surgery. These can include infection, blood clots, nerve damage, and implant failure. However, these risks can be minimized by following all pre-operative and post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.
CONCLUSION Knee replacement surgery can be a life-changing procedure for individuals su?ering from severe knee pain and limited mobility. By understanding the process of knee replacement surgery and following all pre-operative and post-operative instructions, patients can increase their chances of a successful surgery and recovery. If you are considering knee replacement surgery, talk to your doctor to determine if it is the right option for you.
